Sacchi wrote for La Gazzetta dello Sport: "In Milan you can already breathe the air of the derby. There's no point in denying it: Inter feel they have the Scudetto in their pocket, and objectively it's difficult to blame them, and the fact of being able to win the title in the super match against Milan energizes the fans.
"The Rossoneri people, however, demonstrate that they are not afraid, given that they have exercised the right of first refusal for all the tickets: the spectators del Diavolo do not intend to fail to support Pioli's team in one of the key matches of the season and, by behaving in this way, they reveal themselves to be confident and courageous. Just as the Milan players should be, and I am convinced that they will be.
"Inter , being out of the Champions League and the Italian Cup, have more time to rest and to prepare for the super challenge at San Siro, there is no doubt about this. Thinking about it now, I think I can say that it will be an open match, where anything can really happen. The important thing is that the two teams focus on one goal: to entertain people, to put on a show, because we desperately need beauty."
